Sad and Sorry Squid

Sad and Sorry Squid cartoon by Amy Crook
This little blue fellow is very, very sorry for whatever you did to make him angry. Won’t you forgive him? He’s just blue all over from regretting what he said.
I designed him to go with my other squid cards at Etsy, and I think he’d make a very effective apology.

Bilbo and Smaug Bookmark 1

Bilbo & Smaug Bookmark 1 by Amy Crook
This is the other bookmark that someone already claimed, a wee tiny Hobbit looking quite distressed indeed to be confronted with a dragon. Smaug, on the other hand, looks highly amused by his discovery. I’m definitely going to do some more art for The Hobbit as well, I want to draw some dwarves.
Things will be back to normal tomorrow with another moon for Monday, so I hope you enjoyed this Bookmark Week and picked up one for yourself or a friend!

Weeping Angel
Bookmark
by Amy Crook
This Weeping Angel crept into someone’s heart when they got my newsletter last week, and so it’s already been snapped up. But never fear, I’m sure I’ll draw another of these creepy creatures again soon, and I’ve already got some more Doctor Who art in the pipeline.
Just remember, don’t look away. Don’t even blink.

Above, you can see its seemingly peaceful face up close. Below, it’s sitting on a book, just daring me to look away.

Purple Pattern
Bookmark
by Amy Crook
This wee bookmark is the same size as yesterday’s, but with a very different subject. This time I started with Sharpie to doodle in skulls and curlicues, and then I took a purple ink pen and drew in the long lines. This one’s drawn on the shiny side of a scrap of comic backing board, so I took my finger and smeared the purple ink, giving a lovely mottled texture while the actual drawn lines still remained visible.

Above, you can see the bookmark up close, including a little bit of sunshine off the shiny Sharpie and scored-in purple pen lines near the top. Below, you can see it hanging bravely with the big green book, evoking the ’80s.

Pink Roses Bookmark
by Amy Crook
I started this bookmark by doodling long, slightly uneven stripes of gold glitter pen, and then I took my pink and green and made fat spiral roses all through the gold, 13 in total. Perfect for keeping your spot in a romance novel.

Above, you can see the bright pink and shining gold up close and personal. Below, you can see the wee bookmark hanging out on the hardcover book. I think it prefers paperbacks, myself.

Sunday Round-Up & Crystal sketch

art-type things wot I posted this past week
Monday we visited tiny Tolkein fandom with Storm, while Tuesday the tentacles got all steampunk with the golden Tentacle Idol. Wordless Wednesday revisited crows, and on Thursday I finally finished my alphabet with Z is for Zoomorphic. Then, Friday we saw the third Filigree Moon painting, and Saturday I expressed my feelings about pollen in cartoon form.
For Sunday’s sketch, I have another little doodle from someone’s Cthulhu Coloring Book, a mysterious crystal with eyes staring out from its facets. Sorry about the SAN loss.

Tomorrow begins Bookmark Week! My newsletter list got a little preview so a couple of them are already sold, but there’s still a bunch left for you to covet.

Down With Pollen!

Down With Pollen, self portrait with kitty by Amy Crook
This pretty much sums up my week, as inspired by one of the wonderful ladies in my Type B Mastermind Group. Perhaps next week the trees will give me a bit of a break to get better caught up with… everything. So much everything.
meh.
